jelayne Posted August 15, 2022 #3 Share Posted August 15, 2022 When do these take effect, are they different that what was announced August 0, with some changes taking place on Sept 5? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliver42 Posted August 15, 2022 #4 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Nothing new at all. very disappointed. NCL ,Carnival, and Princess all dropped testing for vaccinated passengers from Florida, except Bermuda. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not seeing any changes from what was a announced last week. im still see no tests for some departures of 5 or less nights and tests for sailing over 5 night tests needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyers10 Posted August 15, 2022 #7 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Add Holland to the list of eliminating most pre-cruise testing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine says 8 nights or less. Maybe if you refresh or erase cookies. I double checked since our next cruise is 6 nights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Smmessineo Posted August 16, 2022 #11 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) Screenshot of the Celebrity Canada site. An interesting point is that, though cruises 9 nights and over require testing, it doesn't say that it has to be a proctored/supervised test.

Looks like a done deal if it’s on the Celebrity website, and perhaps Celebrity Canada just jumped the gun a little. M Makes much more sense and aligns Celebrity/Royal with most major lines. Also simplifies things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well of course -- as you say, that's the Canadian website, and those are METRIC days, not imperial! They're shorter than ours here south of the parallel. 😜 Here, it's still no vax for 5 nights or less, vax for 6 or more. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Cruise Junky Posted August 16, 2022 #15 Share Posted August 16, 2022 There are exceptions to this. There’s an exception for all cruises leaving from LA for some reason. Do your homework for your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieDub Posted August 16, 2022 #16 Share Posted August 16, 2022 (edited) I'm on the Irish version of the site and it also says "For U.S. and Europe sailings 8 nights or less, vaccinated guests no longer need to test pre-cruise. Unvaccinated guests ages 5 and up will need to present a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 3 days prior to boarding."

Gracie115 Posted August 16, 2022 #17 Share Posted August 16, 2022 For UK, Barcelona, Italy these are the testing "requirements" as of Sept. 5th. Seems pointless with no proctoring required. This is direct from the X website this morning: Sailing Testing Requirements: All guests ages 2 and older must present a negative COVID-19 test result to board their sailing. A negative test result from any commercially available test, including self-tests, will be accepted. Tests do not have to be monitored or proctored. Test results may be presented as a printout, screenshot or photo of the test result or the actual test. Pre-Arrival/Embarkation Covid-19 Test Vaccinated Guests: Must test negative for COVID-19 within 2 days prior to sailing. Unvaccinated Guests: Must test negative for COVID-19 within 1 day of sailing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One needs to be aware of the requirements for their specific cruise ports. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvlandandsea Posted August 16, 2022 Author #20 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Thanks for posting the text. Still checked the USA site as opposed to my Canadian site and still no change there. Wonder why, but I will take it. 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeRick Posted August 16, 2022 #21 Share Posted August 16, 2022 OK pretty bad that Celebrity has different rules on different websites by country. No matter your national origin, I would go by the H&S protocols on the US website if sailing from a US port until all of this gets cleared up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you see this, as when I look up the info earlier today and again just now, it is basically the same but says the testing is to be within 3 days of sailing for all pax!!

UKYgirl Posted August 16, 2022 #24 Share Posted August 16, 2022 Glad they are not requiring pretests any longer as of September for cruises 8 days or less….. just scheduled my pretest for my cruise this weekend and Walgreens is now charging for the test!! $128.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone has covid but wants to get on the ship they simply do the test without taking a sample from their nose. Voila negative test. It doesn't prove anything. Of all the changes regarding testing I don't understand this one at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
